20世纪以来,学术界对晚明士人群体的组织活动、政治态度、价值观念、心态及士风、社会生活及生存状态、士人与地方社会等方面进行了研究,从不同的层面揭示了晚明特殊历史时期士人群体的新变化,为晚明士人群体及晚明社会研究提供了新视角、新材料和新方法。但在已有的研究成果中,过于注重单个人或单个方面的具体现象研究、注重晚明士人群体的分化及变化研究,而对于士人群体的整体性研究、具体现象的文化解读、士人固守传统方面的研究,则存在一些薄弱环节。 Since the 20th century, the academic circles have studied the organizational activities, political attitudes, values, mentality and style of the late Ming scholars, social life and living conditions, scholars and local communities, etc., and have revealed from different aspects The new changes of the literati group in the special historical period in the late Ming Dynasty provided new perspectives, new materials and new methods for the study of the late Ming scholars and the late Ming society. However, in the existing research results, we pay too much attention to individual or single aspects of the phenomenon of specific phenomena, pay attention to the late Ming literati differentiation and changes in the study, but for the scholar population integrity studies, cultural interpretation of specific phenomena, People stick to traditional research, there are some weak links.
